ALONE

WHEN I SAY IM ALONE IT’S BECAUSE I AM
EVERYWAY I LOOK AT IT
THERES NOBODY HERE,
TO CARE
TO TRUST
TO COMPROMISE MY POOR DECISIONS
I’M ALONE
QUESTIONING IF IT’S ME
IN WHOM MAY BE THE GUILTY OF THIS HELL
THIS UTTER LONELINESS
THIS POSSIBLE SELF INFLICTED PERDITION
IM ALONE
AS I SIT SINGULAR
I CAN ONLY BLAME ME
I HAVE TO ANALYZE ME
FROM THE INSIDE
WHERE IT’S THE DARKEST
THE COLDEST
THE MOST HOLLOW
AND I’M SCARED
I DON’T CARE TO LOOK IN DEEPLY
IT’S HAUNTING
IT’S A POLTERGEIST OF FEELINGS
SOMETHING NO PERSON SHOULD CONTAIN
I HAVE TO DO THIS
I CAN’T GO ON ALONE
I DESIRE
I REQUEST
BUT I REQUIRE AN INTERNAL EXORCISM
I CAN DO THIS
EMOTIONS THAT STARE AT ME BLANKLY
WITH NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF SIMPLICITY
ITS AN UNEQUAL EQUATION OF BLACKNESS
YET I SIT HERE
EYES CLOSED NOW
FINGERS CROSSED
STARING AT THE BACK OF MY EYELIDS
IM INSIDE NOW
I HEAR MY THOUGHTS ECHOING
I THINK ALOUD
THEY SPEAK BACK IN WHISPERS
YET IM IN HERE
LOOKING
WATCHING
LISTENING
STILL QUESTIONING THE ANSWERS TO
THE TOTAL VALUE OF MY VERY EXISTENCE
IT’S PUZZLING
THERES A MIRROR HERE
I LOOK
I SEE MYSELF SHAKING
BUT I LOOK DOWN AT MYSELF AND IM NOT HERE
YET I LOOK IN THE MIRROR
AND IM THERE
LOOKING
LAUGHING
POINTING EVERY FINGER AT ME
IT’S ME
MY OWN WORST ENEMY
I GASP
STEP AWAY FROM THE MIRROR
I SEE ME AGAIN
IT’S TIME TO QUESTION ME
ITS ME
I GOT THIS
